What may likely have happened is that they're a working/struggling band who's been working their asses off to make music and play it for people and build up that following and become successful. They've done a couple tours across the country so far this year (not the limos and jets kind, the living out of the trunk kind), and somewhere in all the mayhem that probably goes along with that the tickets got misplaced or aren't where they were supposed to be.

I just went to a music video shoot for them and they are not living out of their trunk. Sorry.

As posted by Syd Gris, Shpongle nor Hallucinogin will NOT be playing at any camp this year. An open letter from Simon Posford:

"Shpongle (Simon Posford)It is with mixed feelings that i've decided NOT to go to Burning Man. It is an adventure, and i thank Opulent Temple and Temple of Boom for inviting me to play, i'm very grateful. But after 4 months touring in the USA i've realised what i need most of all is a Holiday! By the sea, fine food, no Shpongle or Hallucinogen, with only my sweetheart. Sorry to the fans who might be disappointed not to see me DJ in the desert... Thanks for all your understanding xxx"

No, "neither" will be there since Simon won't be on the playa. Basscamp needs to edit their lineup info..

I've seen my fair share of Random Rab sunrise sets, and as good as they are... if anyone was at Shpongle's sunrise set at Symbiosis Gathering 2009 they know what's up. All I remember is being so sad Random Rab's morning set was over, then Shpongle came on next and blew everyone away. Symbiosis was a pretty special event though. Hoping it comes back soon.

I will be DJing at the Temple of Boom on Saturday morning @ 11:00 for the Pre-Burn Day Party. Wonder what I play? Lots of blissed-out intelligent dub music. Perfect for a beautiful morning on the Playa. Honored to play. See you there. Peace, 10-E.
